f oil-tight. The upper end ofthe spout 2S is.

cut off at an angle to the longitudinal axis ini f ing .the flange 3l at an inclination, the spout is urg'ed into tight contact with this flange 3l and the flange constitutes a stop limiting the urther'inovement of the spout in this direction` The flanger 31 constitutes a cover or closure `for the upper endof the spout when the latter is in its normal position.

For the purpose of Aindicatinglthe amount of oil within the container oi can l0, I provide a gauge glass or sight glass 32 and thisy 4is disposed within a recess formed by depressing the sidewall of the container for nearly the entire extent of the container. This recess 33 does not extend upward to the full height'of the container and hence the upper end of the gauge glass is disposed behind the V,web 34 formed above the depressed portion. Thus, the upp-er end of the gauge glass opens into the interior of the vessel 10. The lower end of'theV gauge glass 32, as shown in Figure 3, is supported within a thimble 35 which is soldered, welded, or otherwiseattached to the bottom wall oi the i rec-essor depression 33 and is formed to Vpro- 1 vide a stop 36 against which the lower end Afilled into the can.

of the gauge glass rests and if-i recessed to receive the packing gasket 37. Belowthe stop 33 this thimble communicates at 38V`with the interior of the can or vessel. f Preferably'the gauge glass or the walloi' the can o'r vessel adjacent the gauge glass is provided Vwith anv indication or mark 39. Thus, for instance, int-lie drawing the can is shown as a two-quart can'hwith an indi-y cation39 showing when one'quart has been Thus, the buyer can readilysee if he buys a quart, that the can is halflilled or filled to the mark 39 an'd,"of course, if he buys two quarts he can see that Y the can'ris entirely filled.

The advantages of the canv are as follows :,*The oil is entirely prevented from contamination. The spout is normally held up a'position where the oil cannot possiblyvleak away and all dust isprevented from y i entering the spout. rIlie spout may be turned down and inserted in the breather' pipe of the engine and then by controlling Vthe inlet of' the spout with relation to the i can, the amount of oil which may be alf lowed to flow from the can may be readily controlled. Thereis thus no chance of spilling the oil orflooding the oil over the top of the breather pipe or other part which is being filled. Furthermore the buyer can see exactly how much oil is being given to him and thus cheating is prevented.
